  Book Description
  Publication Date: March 22, 2011
  Writing the Lives of Painters explores the development
of artists' biographies in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. During this period artists gradually
distanced themselves from artisans and began to be recognised for their imaginative and intellectual skills. The
development of the art market and the burgeoning of an exhibition culture, as well as the foundation of the Royal
Academy of Arts in 1768, all contributed to redefining the rank of artists in society. This social redefinition of the
status of artists in Britain was shaped by a thriving print culture. Contemporary artists were discussed in a wide range
of literary forms, including exhibition reviews, art-critical pamphlets, and journalistic gossip-columns. Biographical
accounts of modern artists emerged in a dialogue with these other types of writing.
  This book is an account of a
new literary genre, tracing its emergence in the cultural context of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
It considers artistic biography as a malleable generic framework for investigation. Indeed, while the lives of painters
in Britain did not completely abandon traditional tropes, the genre significantly widened its scope and created new
individual and social narratives that reflected and accommodated the needs and desires of new reading audiences. Writing
the Lives of Painters also argues that the proliferation of a myriad biographical forms mirrored the privileging of
artistic originality and difference within an art world that had yet to generate a coherent 'British School' of
painting. Finally, by focusing on the emergence of individual biographies of British artists, the book examines how and
why the art historiographic model established by Georgio Vasari was gradually dismantled in the hands of British
biographers during the Romantic period.
  
  Review

 "Adds substantially to our understanding of biography as conceptualized during a formative period in art's history.
This is an urgently needed scholarly contribution, made all the more welcome through its carefully delineated argument
and elegant prose...This excellent book deserves a wide readership." --Eighteenth-Century
Fiction
